Spent the weekend once again in San Diego, my home away from home. A fun dinner at La Jolla Public House Saturday nite with the Blue Blazers was followed Sunday by a play day at Sue Roos' studio.

Sue is a fabulous hostess, and there was dollmaking, sculpting, jewelry-making and a good time had by all. Beautiful weather and a great lunch off the barbecue topped it off!

In other news, I'm working away on classes and commissions, and we have a new kittykid! Brrt is a curious lil guy, that talks to himself as he explores, hence the name. His other name may be Goblin, cos he's sure gobblin' the kibble!

Pardon the photo quality — my studio is such a mess, I can't find my photo cube; guess I'd better get up there and get cleaning! TTFN

Artists are so lucky a place like Patreon exists — it's like a monthly Kickstarter to gain support for ideas and bring them to life. What's cool is anybunny can be a Patr(e)on... from $1 to $1000. I need some time and resources to get to some of the ideas that I've been mulling over for a couple of years, and to do the next book y'all are asking for. And maybe do an extra show or two — you Oddfans can help me do all that!

All reward levels will get news about my upcoming shows and events. Have a look at the Reward Tiers to see what kinda perks you'll get for your $$.

HUGE thanx to everyone who hops on board the Oddfae Wagon...it's gonna be Big Fun!!

It's time for my annual pre-SDCC class in San Diego! We're going a little crazy this year — rather than everyone making the same doll. we'll all sculpt a face and build a cage doll to costume any way ya want!

What's a cage doll? You can read a brief history here... This guy is from my own doll collection.

The Hatter is coming along slowly, and being difficult every step of the way...at least the hat was fun to make!

The understructure is made of cardstock and masking tape, and I'm sticking the fabric to it with matte medium — light but durable!

Hat of many colors

The Hatter and I are having differences over the color of his coat...there's so many to choose! I am confident we will reach an agreement for the pigmentation of his vestments, but we do both like the velvet fabric...

I just stuff a gob of clay into a half-shell, and start noodling. If I get a face I really like, I'll turn it into a larger piece, maybe a furry troll, or a doll if a costume pops into my head. All depends what they tell me!

Working on commissions this week, so I may have a sneak peek or two later in the week — if not, see ya next Monday!
